The film tells the story of Dracula using behind-the-scenes footage from the making of the filmCount Dracula, complete with scenes of the cast and crew working on the film in between takes. The film also shows how the special effects and sets of the film were designed, often splicing these moments with footage of the actors. With the exception of the final scene, which features Christopher Lee explaining the end of the novel, the film is mostly silent, with sparse music and sound effects sparingly used.
J. Hoberman ofThe New York Times praised the film, calling it "ghostly" and "among the most highly regarded avant-garde films of the past half century".[1] James Evans ofStarburst Magazine gave it seven out of ten stars, commending the cinematography, and soundtrack.[2]
